M1951 Field Parka Olive Pike Brothers: the legendary US Army winter parka
The M-1951 Field Parka is an evolution of the M-1948. When the United States entered the Korean War, the US Army needed a garment capable of withstanding the harsh Korean winters: the development resulted in a long parka with a removable lining , designed to be worn over uniforms. Due to cotton and wool shortages, the M-1951 did not arrive in Korea in sufficient quantities but remained in service until the 1980s, adopted by subcultures such as the British Mod scene. Pike Brothers reissues this parka faithfully to the 1950s specifications, with dense poplin , a Talon zip , and a removable quilted nylon lining . Note: oversized fit , order one size down.
Dense cotton poplin and removable quilted lining
The densely woven, 100% cotton poplin outer fabric offers the structure, abrasion resistance, and durability characteristic of the original M1951. The removable, quilted 100% polyester nylon lining clips onto interior buttons: wear the parka alone in the mid-season, or with the lining in the depths of winter. One piece, two uses.
Zip heel, generous pockets and drawstring waist
The Talon zip , true to the original design, provides the main closure. Two large exterior pockets accommodate gloves, hats, notebooks, and tools. A drawstring waist adjusts the fit to block out cold air. The oversized cut is faithful to the originals: order one size down.
A garment with a rich heritage, cultivated over many years.
This men's military jacket pairs perfectly with raw denim, military trousers, or chinos. It can also be worn with combat boots, motorcycle boots, or work boots. A timeless piece that transcends seasons and decades, it's a cult classic in both heritage and Mod revival circles.
